"Halloween is an ancient druidic holiday, one the Celtic peoples have celebrated for millennia. It is the crack between the last golden rays of summer and the dark of winter; the delicately balanced tweak of the year before it is given over entirely to the dark; a time for the souls of the departed to squint, to peek and perhaps to travel through the gap. What could be more thrilling and worthy of celebration than that? It is a time to celebrate sweet bounty, as the harvest is brought in. It is a time of excitement and pleasure for children before the dark sets in. We should all celebrate that." - Jenny Colgan

"Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know." - Pema ChödrönI am constantly asking myself, what is the lesson here?What have I forgotten?I try to remind myself, that this person or this situation is my teacher.I search for the blessings in disguise.I find the sacred. I find the beauty. I find the humor.This new series of mixed media on canvas is a celebration of spirit, a dance of freedom. The series marks my return to canvas. Each piece is a poem, a meditation, a prayer.

She says, "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side."He said, "Hey honey, take a walk on the wild side."

“I’ve always believed that there’s an amazing number of things you can do through a rock ‘n’ roll song, and that you can do serious writing in a rock song if you can somehow do it without losing the beat. The things I’ve written about wouldn’t be considered a big deal if they appeared in a book or movie." - Lou Reed (1942-2013)

"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost."
- Martha Graham (1894-1991)

I give my dreams time and room to grow, stretch and develop. I go for walks and contemplate the sacredness of a stone, the miracle of a wildflower. I dance and dream. I laugh and cry with my dreams. My dreams keep me alive...truly alive...my dreams nourish and sustain me.

"Inside water, a waterwheel turns. A star circulates with the moon. We live in the night ocean, wondering: what are these lights?" -RUMIMy pieces are more than adornment, so much more than a fashion trend or statement. Each is a signed work of art - a wearable sculpture. Like the human soul, no two are exactly the same - ever (not even limited editions). Each piece is birthed one at a time, in a peaceful, meditative space within the United States.Stay tuned for upcoming exhibits and trunk shows...I am in love with this new collection...it is all about the LIGHT within...

"Myth must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are artists of one kind or another. The function of the artist is the mythologization of the environment and the world."- Joseph CampbellI am completely in love with this series of mixed media on canvas paintings...I am looking forward to exhibiting them in a near future...

"When you are consciously aware of your body and what it is telling you, the quality of intelligence is amplified. Its reach is infinite. While the human body performs countless physical processes, it tracks the movement of stars and planets, because your biological rhythms are actually the symphony of the whole universe. That's why we call it the universe -- one verse, one song." - Deepak Chopra

“I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with...I can't fall in love with this man, but it's just like a ring of fire.”- June Carter Cash (1929-2003)Love is a burning thing,And it makes a fiery ringBound by wild desireI fell into a ring of fire.

I fell into a burning ring of fireI went down, down, downAnd the flames went higher,And it burns, burn, burns,The ring of fire, the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweetWhen hearts like ours meet.I fell for you like a childOh, but the fire ran wild.

"When we cultivate mystical awareness or transcendent identity - which is a natural outgrowth of meditation and other practices - what happens is that we begin to take a witness position on our own lives, and that includes our minds." - James Redfield

As the music started, the sun began to blush while the wind continued to breathe. One by one, they slowly emerged from the depths of the earth. Moving with rhythms of nature, the goddesses created a sacred circle and danced in beauty and dreams.

Brief Bio

CASIMIRA grew up surrounded by art and storytelling with music and poetry playing a part of everyday life. She developed a fascination for textiles and clay since early childhood.

An educational background in art history and romance languages served as inspiration when CASIMIRA began creating poetic wearable pieces from wire, vintage beads and objets trouvés. She has studied in Europe and Latin America and is continuously diving into studio art courses. Private collectors may be found in Europe, Latin America, Australia, Asia, Canada and throughout the United States.

She believes in the healing power of nature, meditates under moonlight and wishes upon stars. She treasures old love letters, dreams of publishing her mountain of journals and of one day living by the sea...

When not painting, sculpting or writing, CASIMIRA is reading, playing with crystals and stones, practicing yoga, volunteering for favorite non-profits and dancing dreams into realities with her best friends and soul mates - her husband and their young children.
